Hangry Bear

Kotori was relieved to be feeling better, even more, relieved to find the sun coming out again and the mushrooms and crystals going away.  He’d heal, everyone was healing and the spirits apparently had left the land.  Hikaru and himself had gone slightly away from the pack territory once again.  Hopefully, the predator count would go back to normal soon of what got foolishly close but, he wouldn’t be surprised if some animals that had come out here while sick would still be desperate for easy food.  There were kids on pack land so best they got caught out here.

Sure enough, even as they roamed through the tree’s a grunting sound could be heard.  A giant bear was coming forward.  It had some open wounds along its face that gave the clear suggestion of having had the sickness with stains along the chest from the ooze having settled there.  One of its ears was shredded and Kotori had to wonder if it was from an enemy or if the bear had injured itself when driven mad.

Either way, the bear had noticed them as well and soon was heading in their direction.  Kotori noticed it seemed a bit thinner than he would have imagined, possibly having a hard time getting food for itself while sick.  Angry and hungry, a good way to make it stupid enough to attack wolves.  Kotori glanced at Hikaru and nodded his head away from them, “go ahead and get to a good spot,” Kotori offered a smug grin, “I’ll get his attention.”  It had worked well so far so why stop now?  With all these predators it could certainly be said the two were getting good at teamwork.
